Jobs and the Holidays

Well, Dennis accepted a job with a company in Fort Collins that delivers packages and he started yesterday! It's kind of a bummer because Candace and the girls are arriving tonight. (Their plane has been delayed for 4 hours so far---poor girls!) Then on Wednesday Brenda, Craig, Katya, Reagan and Elsie will arrive. At least we will both have the weekends off while they are here but neither us get the day after Christmas of the day after New Years off.
Dennis will be doing residential and business package deliveries using our own van. The pay is pretty poor and it will be long days at first until he learns the area. I have had two days of training at my new job. So far I am not very excited about it but I am trying to keep a positive attitude and hope I can learn everything and pass the tests.
It continues to be very cold here and there is still snow on the ground and we might get more this week.
We had a wonderful "open house" last night with our new neighbors. We even invited our landlord and his wife. They are so nice and most of the neighbors know them so it was extra fun that everyone got to see them. Dennis made his famous chili and tamales and I made a nice vegetable soup and of course we had tons of snacks and corn bread and cookies. It was quite a success and we are blessed to have very nice neighbors.
